Yes, the axles are exposed, but that was the only place i could put them to make them effective.

Axles placed like that serve no purpose since you already have a pair of primary wedges.

Also ramplates aren't as tough as the ingame description says...

^^^ Hehehe. Found that out the hard way. XD

Remove the axle wedges and the ramplate and see if you can add a tite sheet and some other stuff with the extra weight. :D

Fixed

I was able to add a few more ants. Sadly, i can't upgrade to 3mm titanium without underpowering it.

Hmm, can we see the insides? Wanna see what a DSL popup should really look like.

Unless it doesn't perform so well.

TriTon · « **Reply #65 on:** November 22, 2009, 03:02:30 PM »

Insides are on the previous page, which is the same thing as this one.

It performs very well, i still just have to test in NAR AI, but it destroys everything in DSL.

Oops, OK. Thanks.

EDIT: Whoo, 1000 posts. SHW.

Possible BBEANS6 entry

Some tips:
Weird chassis, too big.
Too heavy wedge.
You need more weapons.
You only need like 3 ants for that.

I don't think you need a motor that strong.

yeah, a TWM3R is perfect for this.

Naryar · « **Reply #71 on:** November 24, 2009, 12:54:41 AM »

Not a lot of weapon hitpoints as well...

AND STOP USING MY BOTS' NAMES >:E

lol j/k :P

Anyway, as Reier said, it's chassis is too big (and because of that, my Apache would pwn yours :P). A box or T chassis would save much more weight and make it more compact and less exposed. Use two skirt hinges for the wedge. One at the bottom, for going under, and another one at the top for feeding low bots into the weapon. Try to make the chassis as short as possible (either you can't move a side NPC up a pixel or can't even attach a side NPC at all) because LW's need to be very conservative when it comes to weight. :D

Random SHW

5mm titanium
4 ants

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #74 on:** December 05, 2009, 03:30:21 PM »

Cool!

Or you should add more ants...

TriTon · « **Reply #75 on:** December 05, 2009, 05:00:16 PM »

A motor only requires one battery, and there are only 4 motors.

The Ounce · « **Reply #76 on:** December 05, 2009, 06:04:43 PM »

That is true only when it comes to spin motors. Burst and drive motors still have to be fully powered. Just check the component txts to find out how much power you need.

...Built a tribute bot, I see?

This bot actually needs about 6 ants, and it is possible to attach the weapon extenders to multi extenders. I think a wider wheels stance would help here, too.

Pwnator · « **Reply #77 on:** December 05, 2009, 11:42:03 PM »

The multi-extender idea really messes up with your mind. I tried it once and I thought it was too brittle, until I realized it was attached to the baseplate. XD

Anyway, from what I can see here, it looks neat. But more ants means more time to kick ass. XD

123savethewhales · « **Reply #78 on:** December 06, 2009, 03:00:04 AM »

How stable is it?

Naryar · « **Reply #79 on:** December 06, 2009, 05:03:13 AM »

This bot is correctly powered, but it would need 6 ants minimum for decent battery longevity.
